kissing death and loosing my breath

The young witch hardly had any true notion of the mental or social limitations of the deviant that her companion had fallen in love with. In fact, she had met the man only on two occasions - the first of which was when he was passed out on the floor of Raven's bed after Azrael's rather abrupt entrance, and the second was in a nondescript warehouse when he attempted to attack a young witch that was this close to becoming Serafina's protege. However, Serafina hardly made the connection between the spotted leopard of then to the name Tobias that she knew now, not that it would have really made a difference either way on her judgement of the pair's union. Still, Serafina brushed off Raven's giggles with a flick of her wrist, hardly dissuaded by the girl's description of her would be lover. After all, weres were already a little on the unique side and Serafina had catered to their magical needs enough to know that. "Nonsense. We'll just make it beauty and the beast themed and it'd be perfect. Your friends will all be amazed. Trust me darling, a little magic can go a long way." She winked at her companion in a clearly impish fashion, not easily dissuaded by the canine's uncertainty. Weddings were something to be celebrated - weren't they? It was her job to make her familiar's marital dreams come true.

Serafina hardly insisted on the topic, however, all too willingly letting the girl return to the familiar conversation of Serafina's all too chaotic store front. At the very least, Raven had shaved several hours off of Serafina's day, her continued assistance certainly was promising for the witch. The sooner her store opened again, the sooner cash flow would once again come pouring into her coffers - a prospect which the woman was particularly fond of. She nodded ever so slightly at the woman's suggestion of the car, hardly even hesitating at her rather canine inquiry. "Sure, we can put the windows down." She confirmed with a small shrug, fishing her keys out of her back pocket as she led the way out of the warehouse that was now, happily, hers. She paused at the door, turning to ensure the lock was firmly in place before commenting on a much earlier comment Raven had made. "By the way, Raven, I would love to meet your pack. I'm sure we'll all get along nicely....assuming they don't remember Azrael knocking them out." There was a small momentary look of guilt crossing her features at the sheer mention of that night though she was quick to move the pair along, instead pressing the button on her keys that made her headlights brighten and the car honk happily as the doors unlocked. "Now come on, one window down car ride coming up." She was teasing at this point, naturally, but she could hardly be faulted. It wasn't often someone got so excited to go in a car and put the windows down. Hell, she wished she was that easy to please some days.

Nevertheless, the car ride itself to Serafina's townhouse was particularly uneventful - that in itself made it rather enjoyable. The spring zephyr blew through their hair, the radio filled the air with those upbeat tunes. It was strangely....relaxing. And thus, all in all, Serafina was largely in a good mood by the time the car smoothly came to a halt within her driveway. "We're going to have to do some creative tetrising to get it all in the trunk." She called behind her shoulder as she made her way up the steps and into her home, entirely oblivious to those intangible spirits that had begun to slowly creep into her living room, their unseen eyes steadfast upon the witch and yet, they knew all too well they could not touch her. Not her. Her companion, on the other hand, why she was fair game.
